The birthday Girl: janelle monae

janelle monae celebrated her birthday yesterday! the songtress and style icon turned 25. famous for well crafted music and crazy alter ego cindy merriweather, we have all fallen in love with her music and that pompadour!

she has made dressing like a boy cool! but still keeping her feminine edge!

get janelle's flavour with a few key pieces

brogues: preferably monochrome

for that girly touch go for heeled brogues

bow-ties: janelle loves her bow-ties! weather they are manly and bold or dainty and feminine

try a jewelled bow-tie

equestrian: janelle is highly influenced by equestrian style, whether its riding boots, top hats, or a horsey scarf! work some kind of horse motif into your wardrobe, or get a riding whip!(joke)

trousers: janelle is rarely seen out of her trousers! high waisted cigarette pants or straight cut with a wide leg are key!

no flesh: janelle barely has an ankle on show let alone a boob! but she always looks sexy (it does help that she is stunning) for us mere mortals make sure you highlight your curves with well fitted shirts, blazers, and trousers to avoid looking a small boy or urkle!

be selective: don't want to look like a janelle clone? select your fav elements of her style. put a shirt and tie with jeans and heels, rock brogues with tights and shift dress.
